Davydenko Georgy Mikhailovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Davydenko Georgy Mikhailovich began to fight in 1939. and passed the Finnish war. He began the great Patriotic War as an ordinary red army soldier in July 1941, then became a squad commander. From the first days he was on the front line, often went on the attack, received many injuries, miraculously survived. Here are some of the memories of that difficult and terrible time ,written from his words: One of the most terrible memories is when you sit in a trench and nothing depends on you - German planes dive down on you with a howl, shoot and throw bombs, the ground shakes, explosions, roar, a pile of soaring earth. During the German air RAID, he was in a trench, when another shell burst, his grandfather was completely covered with earth, and only thanks to a soldier who survived nearby, who knew that there was a man next to him, his grandfather was dug up and brought to life half-dead; he was already unconscious and almost suffocated under the ground. He told how at the beginning of the war, all the soldiers did not have enough rifles and picked up their weapons from the dead soldiers. Being wounded in the swamp surrounded by no strength and food, when there was nowhere to run and hide, my grandfather, seeing the Germans, pretended to be dead. The Germans were marching in a chain and shooting dead and wounded Russian soldiers. We were lucky that we passed by my grandfather and didn't shoot him. Surrounded by the grandfather and a small group of soldiers came across a village and went to the house of the headman. At night, the headman wanted to run away to the Germans and tell them about the Russian soldiers in his house, but according to the story of his grandfather, they did not let him do it and killed him. While in the trench and repelling a German tank attack,our shooter, who was shooting from an anti-tank (PTR) rifle, was killed near my grandfather. The grandfather took the PTR and fired at the approaching German tank, the tank began to smoke and stop, the Germans began to jump out of it. My grandfather shot at them with a rifle, then says they didn't get up again. During the attack at Stalingrad, my grandfather tore off the index finger on his right hand, in the heat of the attack, I noticed this only when I had to shoot a rifle, pressing the trigger with my finger. The hand then did not heal for a long time, there was a possibility of gangrene and the doctors wanted to amputate the hand, but the grandfather did not give consent. He said that the hand was very rotten and even in the injured hand got worms. There was a wound in the thigh with many fragments, which then for many years periodically came out of the leg when steaming in the bath. There was a wound in the foot when I ran to attack, the bullet entered near the thumb and left through the heel. There was a head wound. At the beginning of the war, my grandfather had a conflict with an officer. The grandfather with a serious wound lay in hospital and the officer forced the wounded to carry heavy logs, the grandfather for this called him a fool. The officer got into a fight and got a shovel on the head from his grandfather. The officer wrote a report-complaint and without any special proceedings, the grandfather was transferred to the penal company. But it was not possible to fight there. Soon my grandfather was called to investigate by a special officer who turned out to be a good person, dealt with the incident impartially, did not give the case a go, and my grandfather was transferred back to his unit. Thus, the special agent saved his grandfather, or they could have shot him indiscriminately. On the front line, when my grandfather was on guard, he managed to capture a German gun in no man's land, escorted it under escort to the rear, where he handed it over to other soldiers, who took it to headquarters. For this, my grandfather wanted to be awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union. But since he passed the captured trophy to other soldiers, the case of appropriation was lost and did not take shape. Davydenko Georgy Mikhailovich was a participant in the tank battle on the Kursk Bulge near Prokhorovka and fought in the battle of Stalingrad.

Dolgopolov Alexander Ivanovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Red army soldier. Division: 310th Novgorod rifle order of Lenin red banner division. Alexander Ivanovich Dolgopolov was born in the village of Troitskaya, Krasnodar territory, on February 13, 1917. In the 30s, he was exiled to Siberia, where he was among the first to found the village of Sibirsky. He left for the war in August 1942 and went to the Volkhov front, where he was a machine gunner. The authorities immediately noticed a capable soldier, a born hunter-tracker, and identified him as a scout. Soon the scout Dolgopolov went on his first search-to identify enemy firing points. How many successful and unsuccessful searches there were later! Sometimes, after several incredibly difficult days, they did not deliver the "language" that was urgently needed at the headquarters, but brought their wounded or killed comrade. At this time, the Wehrmacht troops closed the ring around Leningrad and tried to capture it as soon as possible. The fascists attacked continuously. My grandfather said that the artillery preparation was replaced by the roar of tank engines, the hum of dive planes, but he did not know then how the next brutal battle ended, the wound forced him to go to the medical unit. And he had four injuries: on March 16, 1943, a light shoulder wound, on January 16, 1944, a light head wound, and on may 10, 1944, a chest wound. He liberated Novgorod, the Leningrad and Pskov regions, and Latvia After the last fourth, a wound received on June 31, 1944 in Latvia, his grandfather was treated for a long time in the Omsk hospital. After recovering, in March 1945, he entered the Vladimir tank school with the rank of Sergeant. He graduated as a mechanic driver of the T-34 tank. He ended the war in the Baltic States. May 9, 1945! For my grandfather, this was a particularly memorable day — he was to be discharged as having received "three or more wounds". And now the wheels of the echelon are rattling, taking grandfather Sasha, "an Excellent scout,"home. "Excellent machine gunner", on his tunic - the order of Glory of the III degree, medals: "for bravery", "for the victory over Germany". Later he was awarded many jubilee medals. He returned to Sibirsky, was a foreman of the vegetable growing brigade, a senior agronomist. Old residents of the village still remember its huge cabbages. For more than a quarter of a century, he worked honestly and conscientiously on the state farm. Already in 1972, when my grandfather was going to leave for a well-deserved rest, he got a job at the X-Mansi fish factory as a fisherman. In eleven years, I caught about a hundred tons of fish. To combat awards were added labor: the order of the red banner of Labor and the jubilee medal for the 100th anniversary of the birth of V. I. Lenin. In addition, more than a dozen certificates of honor were awarded at various times. The name of my grandfather is listed in the Book of Honor of Sibrevkoma and Labor glory of the Ministry of fisheries of the Russian Federation. Central Committee of the trade Union of food industry workers, he was awarded the title "five-year Guardsman". Together with his wife Lukerya Prokopyevna, who worked all her life on a state farm, Alexander Ivanovich raised and raised eight children. After retiring, his worries did not decrease-the economy, granddaughters… Although I have never seen my great-grandfather, I can be proud of him, because during his difficult life, he fulfilled his duty to the Motherland, the people and his family.

Razumov Ivan Ivanovich_x000D_ _x000D_ He was born in 1922 in Sumskaya region. On August 8, 1941, he was drafted into the Soviet Army in the 273rd rifle division. In March 1942, he was appointed commander of a rifle platoon with the rank of second Lieutenant, and by August 1942, the entire division was transferred to the Stalingrad front.

"After receiving the combat task 273 SD, due to the narrowness of the front, built battle formations in layers, so it was not possible to use all the firepower, the constant crowding of units both before and during the offensive. This position of the division led to a confusion of battle formations, and created difficulties in management, at the same time, the enemy had no particular difficulty in determining the grouping of our forces. Due to the limited time given to prepare for the task, there was almost no interaction between units, divisions, and infantry with artillery, so there was a gap between units and divisions of the division. There was no interaction between the neighbors, the commanders did not know who and when would give help during the offensive." Tens of thousands were killed in this battle, but Ivan Ivanovich was lucky: despite the fact that he received a severe wound in the stomach from an enemy shell fragment, he survived.

Rudnev Petr Petrovich_x000D_ _x000D_ My father, Petr Petrovich Rudnev, a red army soldier born in 1913, was drafted into the red Army in April 1942, in the 1091 rifle regiment of the 324th division in the 16th army. His military path was not long, but, like any soldier, not simple, hard, through blood and sweat on the battlefields. He was a participant in the battles of Moscow. The division in which my father served was on the defensive and covered one of the most important directions of Sukhinichi-Kaluga-Moscow. The fighting took place on the Northern Bank of the Zhizdra river. And in June 1942. he participated in the operation to capture the bridge over the Zhizdra. From July to October 1942. Petr Rudnev participated in the Rzhev - Sychevkaya strategic offensive operation. The red army soldiers of the rifle division in which he fought, slowly, with heavy losses, won back every meter of land. At the cost of their own lives, liberating villages and towns from the German invaders. In his last battle, during the offensive battles near the village of Kholm, Petr Petrovich Rudnev, on December 1, 1942, received a severe shrapnel wound in the left forearm, with damage to the radius. He was saved by the commander, unfortunately, we do not know his name. From my father's story......... there were fierce battles, and we had a great responsibility to hold out as long as possible and move West, not to let the enemy pass to Moscow. There was a battle, the Germans once again tried to break through the defense, shells were bursting all around, it was scary, smoke, fire, the roar of exploding shells, huge craters in the ground appeared one after another, some served as temporary shelter for us soldiers. Machine-gun bursts and machine-gun fire cut down our soldiers. Young girls-nurses ran screaming from this horror, fear and only fear, was read in their eyes. It was impossible to look at these very young children, tears and pain blurred my eyes when I saw it. I am a 29-year-old adult man, I could not see how these girls, who recently came down from school, fell, cut by bullets, and their braids lay on the dirty snow. We, adult men, trying to somehow save them, knocked them down and covered them with our bodies. In those moments, I realized more than ever that they do not belong here, they must live to give birth to a new life. It was a terrible reality... .... And then one of the shells exploded right ten paces away from me and the commander who was next to me. I didn't even have time to realize what was happening, as the commander literally knocked me down and covered me with his body, stunned by the exploding shell, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, after the explosion, at first, I didn't even realize what had happened. I struggled out from under the commander's body and saw that the shell fragments had torn the commander's entire back, while my left arm was broken and part of my back was grazed by shrapnel. At the cost of his own life, the commander shut me down, thereby saving my life. The arm was practically hanging by tendon and leftover skin. There was smoke, the sound of explosions, everything was pitted and snow covered with traces of the blood of dead soldiers lying everywhere. I crawled for a while, trying to see or hear at least one person, but soon I lost consciousness. I don't know how long I lay there, but when I woke up, I saw that I was already being carried on a stretcher, but I lost consciousness again. Once again, I woke up when I was already in the ambulance train, which was going through Moscow to Gorky. My arm was bandaged, and I had the feeling that it was practically gone. In my head, of course, the thought flashed through my mind, how will I live without a hand, my wife and 2-year-old son were waiting for me at home. It was painful to think that I might become disabled, but I tried not to let this thought occur. From the conversations of the soldiers, I realized that the Germans passed through the occupied positions of the Red Army, which was surrounded, and only by chance that they took me for a dead man, so they did not shoot me, but passed by and returned to their positions. Sometime after the battle, our medical units were able to carry out the remaining survivors, but there were only a few of them. Upon arrival in Gorky, all the wounded were placed in EV. hospital No. 2816. After examining my wound immediately, the doctor made a conclusion: - "Your business is bad, but let's try to save your hand, you have a whole life ahead of you." At the time, I didn't understand what it was about, but I firmly believed that everything would be fine. I remembered the piece of paper on which the prayer was written and which helped me in the most difficult days, on the battlefields, so I kept it in the pocket of my tunic. And from that moment, when I was particularly ill, I read this prayer, remembering my family. » In the hospital, I had a unique operation, when they were able to restore the motor function of the hand, with the transfer of the missing skin, using an incision on the side of the torso. The arm was practically sewn along the body. Unaware of anything, he writes the first letter to his wife, saying that he is in the hospital for treatment after being injured. And as it turned out, earlier she received a notification that Rudnev Petr Petrovich was missing in action. So far, on some sites from reports of irretrievable losses, he is listed among the dead in the Smolensk region. Sychevskiy district, D. Holm. TSAMO. Number of the information source Fund No. 58, inventory number No. 818883, case number No. 1809 Last duty station hq148osbr. Military transfer point Gorky runway. EG 2816. Arrived in part 15.07.1943. In July 1943, the Pope was sent to part number 170 of the Republic of Kazakhstan until December 1943, the Pope served in the protection of military warehouses.18.12.1943 g. the medical Commission of the Gorky GWRK was recognized as fit for non-combat service under article 44 of the first column of the order of N. K. O No. 336-1943. and was commissioned. At the end of 1943, my father returned home. My mother looked at him and was happy that he was home, even if not quite healthy, but alive. How many men were left out there on the battlefields, and he was here? When my mother was washing her tunic, she found in her pocket a folded piece of notebook, soaked in sweat and blood, worn out, but still holding the words of faith, on which was written a prayer. She handed it to my father, and he said," if it wasn't for this prayer, who knows what might have happened... " my mother understood everything, this leaf is still kept in our family as a family heirloom. Many years passed, and my father worked tirelessly in the fields and in the factory. In 1955, the decision of the medical Board, he was declared fit for military service. And in our family, during these post-war years, four more guys were born and the only girl-daughter, this is me. Every year on Victory day, on the day of the great Victory, my father wore a suit with orders and went to a meeting with veterans, laid flowers at the monument to the fallen during the war with tears in his eyes. And in 1985, he was awarded the order of the Patriotic war, First class. Unfortunately, dad did not like to talk about those terrible days of the war, could not watch films about the war without tears, and silently swallowing tears, clenching his fists, said: "There is nothing worse than a war that takes away your most precious thing-your life." And only my insistent desire to hear something more from my father about the war, forced him again and again to return to those terrible days of the war. And he said that we, adult male soldiers, wept when we saw how German planes bombed and shot trains (trains) with civilians, in which mostly old people and women with children were traveling. His eyes were filled with tears at that moment, and the pain and bitterness of what he had seen still lingered in his heart. .... "I close my eyes and see," he said, " a woman, very young, clutching a baby to her breast, drops of blood trickling from her lips, and the baby is almost covered with earth from a shell that exploded nearby. The screams of people running in different directions, crying, a terrible picture was before his eyes. I wanted to run, to protect, to hide, but I had to go further, forward to the West. And we went without sparing ourselves, for those who remained on the battlefields, for those who were waiting for us at home, the closest, the dearest ... " he could not forget the woman holding the baby to her breast. He could not forget the old people, or the open eyes of dead children, nor could he forget the smell of death, even decades later, after this terrible war. That's probably why he loved life so much, worked and lived for his family, for 6 children. Only a fragment the size of a five-kopeck coin, left after the wound under his left shoulder blade, only occasionally reminded of those days. Farther worked until the age of 18, was awarded the title "Veteran of Labor", was repeatedly awarded diplomas and commendations for good work. He was always proud of his 5 sons, who one by one went to serve in the Soviet Army, in different parts of our vast country from the Far East to the Baltic States. We had a large, friendly and strong family. I am proud that I had such a hero father! Unfortunately, my dad is no longer with us, he died on 05.03.1988, but there is his continuation, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We have a large family, 15 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. So, one saved life, the Life of my father Rudnev Petr Petrovich, became a continuation of 39 more lives. Life goes on, in us his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We remember, we are proud!

But farm labor has known before. My father and mother worked on the collective farm from morning to night. His mother, Maria Vasilyevna, was put on the Red list for her good work. At the age of fifteen, Andrey Vasilyevich also began working on the collective farm: he plowed on oxen, sowed, and performed other work. He was even trusted to train young bulls in the furrow, as an experienced Plowman, which he recalls with some pride. He was not accepted into the army because of poor eyesight. In 1940, recruiters came to the village to recruit young people for the construction of the Molotov Siberian railway. Andrey Vasilyevich also enlisted. I liked my job. The young people were cheerful and hard-working. I learned the news of the war there. Soon they wrote from home that my father was fighting at the front. In April 1942, Andrey Vasilyevich was also drafted into the army. The topographical detachment to which he was assigned was sent to the far East. We worked 80 kilometers from the border with China: we photographed the area and put it on maps. In October of the same year, the detachment returned to the 387th rifle regiment, and preparations began for sending to the front - the Smolensk direction. After disbanding, Andrey Vasilyevich became a fighter of the 19th guards Rudnensky division at Rokossovsky.

But more and more appeared in place of the burned ones. In February 1943, he was wounded. He spent several days in the Sychevsky hospital in the Smolensk region and was sent to the reserve regiment. And soon the front again. Now Andrey Vasilyevich fought in the 88th division of the 33rd Belarusian army in the group of 22 reconnaissance battalions. With this battalion, he passed Belarus, liberated Poland. Most often, the squad received a task-to take the "language". Andrey Vasilyevich doesn't remember how many of them were delivered to the headquarters. But then one day "language" turned out to be an important figure, because the whole group was presented for awards. Andrey Vasilyevich-to the order of the red Star. But, as often happened at the front, after the announcement of awards, the battalion went further, and the well-deserved order found a soldier not soon. In 1944, our countryman was seriously wounded. He was evacuated from a Polish hospital to Minsk and from there to Ufa. In Ufa, he was treated for a long time, and there he learned about the end of the war. He returned home in February 1946 as an invalid. Two years later, the award came. In the Rovensky district military Commissariat, he was awarded the order of the red Star. Andrey Vasilyevich also has other awards - the order of the Patriotic war of the first degree, the medal "for the victory over Germany".
